Yes, Friends, FFFF still has some catching up to do, what with being sued by the legal beagles at the crack I Can’t believe It’s a Law Firm of Jones & Mayer. Enduring legal attacks from the the people whom you are paying to represent you is pretty annoying. Sort of like a boil on […]
Education Uber Alles
Yes, two stadiums are too many
Regular readers know we have already covered the the proposed Fullerton College stadium in detail (see here, here and here). In a nutshell, the NOCCD Board of Trustees want to turn Sherbeck Field into a 4500 seat football stadium so the Hornets can play football in their own stadium instead of their current location, or […]
Goons, Goblins, the Alt Right, and Antifa Oh My!
The CSUF Republicans have invited controversial conservative pundit Milo Yiannopoulos to speak on campus Halloween evening, creating quite a bit of anxiety for CSU educrats, liberal activists and local police. Why? Here’s what happened when Yiannopoulos tried to speak at UC Berkley earlier this year: That’s a lot of potential chaos for Fullerton, and local […]
Millie’s Mansion
We here at FFFF like to remind our Friends of the sorts of ways our public resources are spent, and we have shown our readers the lifestyle enjoyed by the Presidents of CSUF. (now Fullerton City Councilman) Greg Sebourn documented this dolce vita away back in 2010. Then it was the incompetent old fool, Milton Gordon livin’ large […]
Mildred’s Rant
Yesterday a Friend passed along a letter from CSUF president Mildred Garcia, in which she uses her administrative position (and the state’s computer systems) to distribute a politically-charged screed to 40,000 impressionable CSUF students. We’ve reproduced it for your entertainment here: Dear Titan family: Welcome back and Happy New Academic Year! It’s wonderful to see […]
Eric Canin, The Punchy Professor Rides Again
Remember that CSUF professor who was accused of assaulting a student during a heated political argument in February? He actually managed to get himself fired over the incident… no small feat for a government employee. Surely the school’s careful and expensive termination of Eric Canin would stick, particularly after multiple investigations confirmed that he did […]
A March for Science, Road Closures and the ACLU
On Saturday the city will shut down several public streets for an event called the “March for Science.” It’s the local version of a nationwide protest of federal budget cuts to scientific research. While the event organizers claim that it is non-partisan, critics say its the nerdy version of yet another anti-Trump protest. Naturally the city bureaucrats were […]
College Town – Still Not Ready for Prime Time
It’s back! Thanks to our tireless activist Joshua Ferguson, who snapped this picture up during a recent visit to City Hall this morning: College Town originally came up before the Planning Commission on February 10, 2016. Opposition was so strong to the plan the opposition’s “Our Town Not College Town” signs started springing up […]
CSUF Republicans allege professor-on-student assault at Trump protest
Members of the Cal State Fullerton GOP club say that an anthropology professor physically attacked students yesterday during an on-campus clash with anti-Trump protestors. The Register and Breitbart have the stories. It’s too early to tell if any of this is true. But that doesn’t mean we can’t tell you what will happen next. CSUF […]
Fullerton in the News: Pervs and Violence
There’s been flurry of news stories about Fullerton in the last 48 hours. Here’s a quick list: Troy Students arrested for alleged school shooting plot. Two Fullerton high school students were arrested for allegedly plotting a school shooting that they were overheard describing as “bigger than Columbine,” police said. ABC 7 Story 2 Female Students Sexually […]
The Sherbeck Stadium Swindle
Fullerton College is going to ruin the nearby neighborhoods when they build the boondoggle that will be Sherbeck Stadium and they are going to use the fact that you residents didn’t yell at them as the very reason for building an unnecessary Stadium when there is already a High School stadium literally within walking distance […]
The Sound of Silence
Not much has come out of Fullerton Junior College lately on the case of cop-turned-security guard Dino Skokos who handed out an unwarranted beat down on an undernourished FJC student in October. A writer for The Hornet named Madalyn Amato, reports that although an “independent investigator” has been engaged, nothing else has been forthcoming. The fact that the […]
Do Not Trust the Trustees
On Thursday, November 17, the North Orange County Community College District held an the Environmental Impact Report scoping session for the Measure J funded improvements to Fullerton College. As you know from our previous report on this matter, the proposed improvements include a football field (estimated during the presentation to cost $4 million to build, […]
Don’t Kneel to Fullerton College’s Football Stadium Demands
So who’s up for a proposed construction project that could “substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site and its surroundings” and could “create a new source of substantial light or glare would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area” according to the Environmental Impact Report? Doesn’t sound appealing? Well, […]
Molly’s Problem
Could be trouble’s a-brewin’ for our old acquaintance, North OC Community College District trustee Molly McClanahan. Now, in case you’re not familiar with the life and times of McClanahan, here’s a primer: rightfully recalled from the Fullerton City Council in 1994 for imposing a stupid and unnecessary utility tax (at the behest of the […]
CSUF Giving Up on “University Heights” Fiasco?
A few years ago Cal State Fullerton decided to get into the housing business for its employees. Why public employees should get any sort of preferential treatment for housing is beyond me, but that’s the society in which we live. Anyway, the whole thing turned out to be a massive disaster, but not an embarrassment, […]
Troy ASB Election Rigged: Whistleblower Takes Fall
A recent Register feature story “ASB Election Rigged” raises a lot of troubling questions. Bottom Line: The advisor who rigged this year’s ASB election (and possibly those of earlier years—no way to know) remains on staff. The student who proved the wrongdoing—Jacob Bigham–was suspended, stripped of the Vice Presidency he legitimately won and banned from […]
Beechwood Teacher Beats Rap. So Far.
Remember that strange episode up at Beechwood School a couple of months ago when parents were called in for a really scary meeting and not really told anything? Some teacher did something. Somewhere. Somehow. FSD Superintendent Mitch Hovey was just double-talking hard. Now the OC Register is reporting that the still unnamed teacher’s offense – […]
Fullerton High Vice Principal Shuttled Off Campus
The OC Register is reporting that FUHS Vice Principal Joe Abell has been removed from campus and is cooling his heels at District HQ, presumably until the furor dies down about his yanking a student off stage at a school-sponsored “Mr. Fullerton” contest. Apparently the boy, Kearian Giertz, 17, wandered off the FUHS Indian reservation and […]
Gay Kid Hauled Off Stage at FHS
According to Tracy Woods of the Voice of OC(EA), here, a bit of a dust up is occurring at Fullerton High School over a student constestant who was yanked offstage during something called a “Mr. Fullerton” competition by Assistant Principal, Joe Abell. The kid’s offense? Apparently he told the audience that he hoped he could […]
